Hey guys, last time you guys help me set up a build which I have already started ordering parts for, thanks again. But, sadly there is a but. I am having an issue, my ASUS Z87 PRO V Edition is sold out on new egg, and I can't wait to get this build up and going, I put the regular ASUS Z87 PRO in my build list as a place holder but I was wondering what motherboards are good for OCing and Gaming, mostly gaming. That will have 4x 4 pin system fan headers and preferably 2 CPU fan headers on it, I am looking to keep the price under $250 USD, Thanks for all the help, build posted below.

Here at your request! :D 
This is a very good, very capable motherboard. Probably one of the most popular LGA 1150 boards available. Remember: the price of a board does not exactly reflect it's performance. A 100 dollar board has the exact same performance as a 500 dollar board, provided it has the same Z87 chipset, USB 3.0, etc. What you're paying for is extra "sockets" and/or features for additional components, SLI/Crossfire, etc. Look over the complete list of sockets and features, determine if it will suit your wants and needs, and let me know if this will do for you. This is an excellent overclocking motherboard, by the way.

I do like the board but I am really looking for one with 4x chassi/system fan connectors because I have 4 fans on the case

Here is your original motherboard wish. Just get it on Amazon! I have bought literally hundreds of things on Amazon and have never had a bad experience. :)

asus hero z87 board is in my opinion the best z87 has to offer. I'd recomend it for small i5 or even 4770k.
